@nomadatlatl "shove it" sometimes has the same meaning as "shut up" or "you can have it/ I don't want it"
It's most likely in reference to the song "Take this Job and Shove it" by Johnny Paycheck https://youtu.be/gj2iGAifSNI

The full phrase is “shove it up your ass” which is obviously very rude and why in business you would not say the full phrase. “Take this job and shove it” is like a quote from an angry employee who quits suddenly. So the sentence is saying it is not likely that Japan will see a lot of people who quit angrily and suddenly.
